Cubot over the years has been able to make a name for itself in the Chinese Smartphone market as one of the topmost professional Android phone manufacturers in the market. As of July 2016 when it decided to venture into the wearable industry, we saw the Cubot V1 Smartband debut into the market and with it came a lot of functions that greatly helped so many people. And as an improvement to the V1, Cubot is back with the Band V2. The innovative Cubot V2 has been designed to enhance the quality of your lifestyle whilst making life easier for you. Let’s take a look at the specifications of this device.

Cubot Band V2 Review – Specifications

Here are the specifications of the Cubot Band V2.

Colour: The Cubot V2 is expected to come in three colours; Black, Blue and Gray.

As earlier intoned, the Cubot V2 is an improvement from the Cubot Band V1 earlier launched. The truth is that there are equally other quality products that match or even outmatch this device in specifications, features and performance. In this review, I’ll show you the features of this device that make it stand out amongst the rest of its kind.

Cubot V2 Review – PackagingUpon purchasing the Cubot Band V2 and unboxing it, you are first of all greeted with a whiff of Chinese air (lol). The next thing you will see are the contents of the package in the box. These would include:

1 x Cubot V2 Smart Wristband

1 x Charging cable

1 x Chinese and English Manual.

Cubot Band V2 Build Attributes

Fortunately, the Cubot Band V2 has been designed to be as lightweight as possible with a weight of no more than 20 grammes. When I put on, it didn’t even seem as though I had slipped anything onto my left wrist. Thus, it is safe to say that it can be used for a variety of activities such as sporting activities, gym and a whole lot more. To build this device, a combination of aluminium and TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) was made use of. It has been designed to be lengthy enough so as to be easily adjustable and comfortably fit into a lot of hands.

Turning on the device for the first time, you are greeted by a black rectangular dial screen which of course is operated by touch. When this device is turned on, a blue light that shows the information on the screen illuminates your face. Information on the screen most of the standby time are the date, time and battery percentage.

While its screen has a black colour build, its TPU band comes majorly in three colours which are black, blue and grey. The material TPU for the band has also been designed so as to be anti-sweat and anti-slippery while remaining lightweight, fashionable and beautiful as well.Cubot V2 Smartband Strap

Cubot V2 Smartband Review – Features

Bluetooth

As an improvement on an earlier device, the Cubot V2 comes fitted with a number of functions. This include:

Installed in this device is version 4.0 of the Bluetooth wireless technology which allows users to connect the smartband to their smartphones. With this, users are able to view ID and names of callers on their Smart band.

Heart Rate MonitorOne useful feature Cubot embedded in this device is the heart rate monitor. This function supports real-time heart monitoring and with the use of the app provided by Cubot, you can monitor your heartbeat graph on a daily basis and set a critical value at which the band would vibrate so as to inform you when your heartbeat rate exceeds that value

Incoming Calls and App NotificationsThe Cubot Band V2 works actively to keep you informed on whatever is going on with your phone even if you’re not close to it. Once you get a call or an SMS, the band V2 will vibrate automatically thereby informing you of these notifications and calls.

GPS Sports TrackingWith this function, you can keep a real-time record of your sporting activities and trail. It also lets you know the distance you covered during your early morning jogging. A record of the calories expended during your sporting activities session is also kept as well. All these are done with the help of the GPS function installed in this device.

Intelligent ReminderOne lovely function which this device possesses is its reminder setting that has been set up to intelligently notify you about certain details which you might not have been aware of. Some of these include missed calls, SMS, etc. Also, the sedimentary reminder function of this device is better suited for individuals that work overtime and are lacking in exercise. By automatically monitoring your activity, the Cubot V2 vibrates to remind you of the need to exercise your body by going out for a walk so as to get fresh air and allow the body relax a little.

Anti-Lost

Are you always dropping or leaving your phone behind at a restaurant or in the library after reading? You don’t have to worry any longer as the Cubot Band V2’s anti-lost setting helps remind you whenever you leave your phone behind. All you need to do is manually set the allowable distance from your phone and once you cross that distance, your band vibrates automatically to remind you.

One Key Share

With the One key share setting, you can easily share any of your data to your friends via any of the social media networks such as WeChat, Weibo, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Remote CameraUsing this device, Cubot has made it possible for owners of the band V2 to easily take control of their smartphone’s camera and take photos within a distance radius of 20m distance. This feature can be used with any of the Smartphone’s camera, be it front or back camera.Cubot V2 Smartband Waterproof FeaturesThe Cubot V2 Smartband has an IP65 waterproof rating, which means it can withstand those occasional splashes and spills of liquid. It, however, doesn’t mean you can swim with it or something like that since a device needs not less than IP67 rating to be fully waterproof. Even some IP68-rated devices still get damaged when dipped into liquids for too long, so you have to be careful.

The waterproof feature was a thoughtful one on Cubot’s part because the smart smartband’s sports tracking features would be almost useless without with; it would be easy to get damaged every time a vigorous sport that brings about sweating is carried out by the wearer.

Cubot V2 Smartband Operating System

Luckily, for me, this device supports my smartphone’s operating system which would have been quite unfortunate if it didn’t. My smartphone’s OS is Android 5.0 Lollipop and that was why I was able to use my smartphone with the device. Unfortunately, if you use any android device with an OS version of less than 4.3, then your device wouldn’t be supported. Apart from the Android Operating System, it also supports the iOS version but you are expected to have a version of not less than iOS 8.

Cubot V2 Smartband Language Support

We all know that if there are no other languages this device would support, we know that it would support both Chinese and English; Chinese because it is a device of Chinese origin. Sad to say, yes, it only supports these two languages which means you’d either have to know a bit of English or Simplified Chinese to be able to use this device. That notwithstanding, the Cubot V2 is pretty easy to use and anybody can make use of it despite the little language barrier.

Cubot V2 Smartband Battery

The Cubot Band V2 comes fitted with a Lithium Polymer battery that boasts of a battery capacity of 80mAh. This battery backup brags of about 5 to 6 days operating time with no less than 30 days standby period. For me, I’d say this device has quite the juice as 5 to 6 days on the go without charging is truly splendid. We’ve not been able to test this claim though as it has only been with us for some hours.It also comes with a charger that allows users to charge it whenever the battery juice is depleted.

Cubot V2 Smartband Price

This device has already gone on pre-order on a number of online marketplaces such as Gearbest and Aliexpress at a price of almost $25 which is about $10 higher than the launch price of the Cubot Band V1. Considering the improvements made on this device, I can say it is a really good price for it.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Cubot Band V2 is a really great smart band capable of helping you live a more fulfilled and healthy life. With such great features and functions, the price even makes it a more desirable device. While we wait for this device to be launched officially and available to our dear readers (though we have ours already), you can get pre-order it on Gearbest for $24.23.
